    The Boardwalk Glam Necklace is a whimsical piece of jewelry with lots of sparkle from the Potomac crystals. Follow along with Allie in this PotomacBeads tutorial to create this fringe necklace.
    1.Put a stop bead onto .006 Wildfire beading thread, leaving about 12 inches for a tail. Using a size 12 needle, pick up a QuadBow from the arched side. Add an 8/0 and three 15/0s. Put on a Potomac Crystal Teardrop. Pick up 3 more 15/0s and sew back through all of the beads.
    2.Watch the Boardwalk Glam Necklace to see how to create the pattern used in this fringe necklace.
    3.Add a cup button to the end of the necklace chain with a few seed beads. Bring the needle back through the beads and button again to strengthen the connection. Make a loop out of seed beads on the other side to fit the button. Tie off the threads and burn down any loose ends in the project.
